openSUSE 2025:0005-1 important: liboqs, oqs-provider security patch

Dist Opensuse Esm H88
A critical patch for liboqs and oqs-provider rectifies significant vulnerabilities while upgrading algorithms in openSUSE.
An update that solves three vulnerabilities can now be installed.

Description

This update for liboqs, oqs-provider fixes the following issues:

This update supplies the new FIPS standardized ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SHL-DSA

algorithms.

This update liboqs to 0.12.0:

* This release updates the ML-DSA implementation to the final FIPS 204

version. This release still includes the NIST Round 3 version of Dilithium

for interoperability purposes, but we plan to remove Dilithium Round 3 in a

future release.

* This will be the last release of liboqs to include Kyber (that is, the NIST

Round 3 version of Kyber, prior to its standardization by NIST as ML-KEM in

FIPS 203). Applications should switch to ML-KEM (FIPS 203).

* The addition of ML-DSA FIPS 204 final version to liboqs has introduced a new

signature API which includes a context string parameter. We are planning to

remove the old version of the API without a context string in the next

release to streamline the API and bring it in line with NIST specifications.
